Eggleston Services, a non-profit organization that employs disabled community members in various positions throughout Hampton Roads is hosting their annual OK-5K race this Saturday June 9th.  Eggleston still needs a couple of Course Monitors to help in directing runners along the course at Virginia Wesleyan College.

A 1 mile run starts at 8 am, and the 5K a little later.  Plan on about 2 hours.  Volunteer course monitors get a cool embroidered OK-5K golf shirt.

Eggleston is a super supporter of Suburban Acres Civic League, and a great organization that provides productive work, training, and social opportunities for mentally challenged adults in our community.

If you’d like to help email Kevin at jkjanney@verizon.net.
